Medvedev's seminal analysis of Stalin and Stalinism. Covers his early manoeuvring for power while Lenin was still alive, how and why he was able to succeed, how he transformed Soviet society, conniving at its own partial destruction and demoralisation, the 1930s purges, post war policies, Krushchev's denunciation, and the perversion of the communist system.
